QUESTION 5

In a certain forest area, the grey wolf was introduced to balance the
rising numbers of white-tailed deer. Initially there are 500 deer and 20
wolves. The female deer, accounting for 60% of the prey population,
give birth to 1 foal per year, with a survival rate of 80%. There are
equal numbers of male and female
wolves and an estimate of 50% of
the female population of the
wolves have one litter of 3 cubs per year. On average, each
wolf will kill 10 deer per year. It is predicted that the number
of wolves will settle to an equilibrium population of the same
as the starting population and the deer will stabilise at 95.

Calculate the following:

(a) The per annum intrinsic growth rate of the deer.

(5)

(b) The rate of successful attacks of wolves on the deer.

(3)

(c) The value of f, the efficiency coefficient of utilising the prey meat.
